Ignite UK, Mark Nixon

Waiting in the wings for his performance on March 18, is pianist extraordinaire, Mark Nixon. A graduate of the Amsterdam Conservatory, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, the University of Cape Town and University of South Africa (UNISA), Mark now resides in London.

He has performed as concerto soloist with all the South African orchestras, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and with several orchestras in England. As solo recitalist and pianist-accompanist he has appeared extensively in South Africa as well as at the Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room and Linbury Theatre Covent Garden in London as well as at numerous music societies across the UK.

Prepare to be blown away as Mark enthrals us with his passion and pianistic agility, described by Tatler as “full blooded gutsiness”. This is not to be missed!

Ignite UK

Paired with Mark is the exciting and uplifting Ignite UK, a newly formed women’s four-part harmony a cappella chorus based in Derbyshire. Sit back and enjoy a feast of barbershop, contemporary and other styles of harmony singing delivered with pizazz and obvious delight as these ladies allow their voices to echo in the wooden rafters of one of the prettiest buildings in Derbyshire!

Anne and co caught on camera rehearsing Dona Nobis Pacem just before the main event kicked off. A few pieces from the Oratorio were performed throughout the Belper Passion 2018. It was magical! - Musicians and choir members, don't forget to tag yourselves! :)
